Geometry of Motion 1920s/1970sThis exhibition considers the transformation of the art object from static image to light projection within two distinct artistic lineages: the unconventional optical techniques and social analyses of the 1920s Neue Optik, or "New Vision," generation of artists, among them László Moholy-Nagy, Hans Richter, and Marcel Duchamp; and the situational aesthetics advanced by Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Smithson, and Anthony McCall in the 1970s.
Drawing attention to the conditions and complexities of perception-both within the framework of institutional display and in other surroundings - these artists have redefined the social potential of visual agency.
